Cloud Monitor:Manage custom dashboards

Last Updated:Oct 10, 2025

The dashboard feature in Cloud Monitor lets you customize how you view monitoring data. If the default Elastic Compute Service (ECS) dashboard in Cloud Monitor does not meet your business needs, you can create a new dashboard. You can then add monitoring charts to view custom monitoring data. You can also modify or delete dashboards.

  1. Log on to the Cloud Monitor console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Visualization > Custom Dashboards.

  3. On the Custom Dashboards page, click Create Dashboard in the upper-right corner.

  4. In the Create Dashboard dialog box, enter a Dashboard Name and select a Folder.

  5. Click OK.

Modify a custom dashboard
